Getting the very best out of the world’s ports and waterways

In the last decade, global shipping has experienced explosive growth. Increasing world trade, developing markets in Africa, Latin America and Asia and the relatively low cost of transportation have all contributed to this. Globalization has also led to increased competition among ports and a call for more efficient operations in the sectors.
